Bully

Ars Technica has details about a countersuit against the RIAA. Of particular concern to me was this item:

The RIAA is also accused of trying to contact Andersen's then eight-year-old daughter without her knowledge. "Knowing of her distress, the RIAA and its agents even attempted to directly contact Kylee," reads the complaint. "They called Ms. Andersen's apartment building looking for Kylee. Phone calls were also made to her former elementary school under false pretenses...

The RIAA claims that file sharing is both unethical and illegal. Apparently, however, stalking eight year-old girls is perfectly acceptable.

Ms. Anderson (and her attorney) are quite serious about this countersuit:

The RIAA is also accused of violating both federal and state RICO statutes, the intentional infliction of emotional distress, and invasion of privacy.

A RICO violation! That'd be sweet.

Go get the bastards.
